Description David Walser 2014-12-04 17:55:53 CET

Debian and Ubuntu have issued advisories on December 3 and December 4:
https://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-3086
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2433-1/

Patched packages uploaded for Mageia 4 and Cauldron.

I don't see a PoC for this one.

Advisory:
========================

Updated tcpdump packages fix security vulnerability:

It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing PPP packets. A
remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting
in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code
(CVE-2014-9140).

tcpdump -nnvvXS displays an extremely detailed running log of tcp traffic

install tcpdump from updates_testing

[root@localhost wilcal]# urpmi tcpdump
Package tcpdump-4.4.0-2.2.mga4.i586 is already installed

tcpdump, -help works, "-i any" displays a running log of tcp traffic
tcpdump -nnvvXS displays an extremely detailed running log of tcp traffic
